Cannot be synthesized in the body or not easily synthesized in quantities
5
Q
What is the major RLS for almost AMN energy metabolism in the body?
A
ADP
6
Q
Degradation of Proteins MOA
A
- Deamination
- end product is Ammonia - 2x Ammonia + CO2 = Urea
- Occurs in the ornithine cycle
7
Q

A
Start
1. Ornithine —> Citrulline
- Citrulline ——> Arginine
- Arginine ——> Urea (Arginase)
——> Ornithine (Start)
